Rate limits on Getting Estimated Wait Time for a Queue

    Hello,

    I am attemping to make API call to get the estimated wait time from the following URI: GET /api/v2/routing/queues/{queueId}/mediatypes/{mediaType}/estimatedwaittime

    I have about 45 queues on the account, and to average up all the queues, I need to make 45 calls to this endpoint at a time.

    I am wondering how often can I make this call without hitting the rate limit?

    Thanks for the support! Phi

    Hi Phi,

    Rate limits are different for each endpoint and is dependent on the micro-service processing the request, there is also a global Platform API rate limit.. The best approach here is to sleep for a few milliseconds between requests to avoid the rate limit and making use of the retry-after value if a 429 code is received.

    You an find more information on API rate limiting in our page on rate limiting and API tips and tricks.

    Additionally, you can request new features, such as bulk API resources, and share your use case at https://purecloud.ideas.aha.io/ideas.
